About the role

The eyes of the atlas. Members walk their own streets and turn corporate advertising into open, mapped, contestable data — logging billboards, bus-stop screens and illegal hoardings so the whole network can see and act on them.

What you'll do

  • Photograph and log outdoor ads and subvertising interventions in your area
  • Capture GPS, dimensions, operator and access-key details
  • File reports through the field tools — offline-first, from your phone
  • Flag high-harm formats (fossil fuel, gambling, junk food) for priority

What we're looking for

  • A phone and a willingness to walk your city with open eyes
  • Care for accuracy — honest, verifiable reports
  • Basic safety sense around traffic and private property

What you'll get

  • Member credentials and a place in the global network
  • Your reports live on the public atlas
  • Field costs reimbursed where the treasury allows

Support for volunteers

This is a volunteer role — but volunteering shouldn't cost you money. Here's what we back you with:

  • Field costs, not out of pocket

    Where the community treasury allows, we reimburse reasonable field costs — transport, printing, access tools — so volunteering never costs you money to do.

  • Micro-grants for local action

    Small grants for members and ambassadors running local campaigns, subvertising actions or city meet-ups. Apply through your coordinator.

  • Real credentials & references

    Member credentials, a public record of your contributions, and honest references for jobs, grants or study.

  • Skills, not just labour

    Hands-on mentoring in mapping, investigation, organising and open-source tools — you leave sharper than you arrived.
